Just one other point to consider:
If such an area  has a name it is likely that we find houses using
this name in addr:street. These addresses will not be found when
there is no other road with the right name.

Maybe it is possible to implement a check which adds only adds these 
highways to the map when they are either needed for address search or
for routing. I have no idea how complex the test for the routing would be.
